At our sawmill here in Troy, TN, we are required to send out a warning
notice concerning the hazards of breathing wood dust with every shipment of
lumber.

us, i surpose when woodworking was done at slower speeds with shavings
instead as now with routers at high spindle speeds.
> I surpose that metal machining that we do at work with very high spindle
speeds and large feed rates(15,000 to 30,000RPM) and flooded with
coolant/cutting lubricants we get a mist which we need special
collectors/Vacumn cleaners so that the workshop does not end up in a haze.

and we are protected againist harm(I hope).
> Not the kind of thing that we encounter in our home workshops except for
wood, and a vacumn can take care of that.
> On another subject what is everyone making at the moment in their
workshops.
